able the s and then we haLLL

Too many new kdrama releases with mediocre and cliche storyline overhyped overrated based entirely on the visuals of leads playing similar roles almost on repeat nearly compelled me to abandon korean productions and switched to Chinese dramas instead. Initially was put off watching cdramas entirely because of female leads high pitched accent and just focused on kdramas but on returning to cdramas especially historical ones I discovered hidden gems and very engaging dramas that surpringly kept me entertained despite lengthy episodes. Dear Hyeri being a drama led by hae sun who is playing two roles is one drama that is long awaited and wow wow wow did not disappoint. It is not a drama for the millions of romcom fans who are going to push the ratings sky high because of the presence of their idols but one for the serious viewers who acknowledge talents and prowess in delivering a most awkward but engaging storyline. Prior to it's release a clip showing the reason for the breakup had viewers totally immersed in the way hae sun in particular deliver the scene. It was only five minutes long and already viewers were totally engaged. After three episodes I can't wait for the next. Everything about the drama is on point. It is so immersive for those that seek a non standard storyline but trying to tackle a serious mental issue. Thus far all the actors performed their respective roles brilliantly. I was just amused at the positive response of viewers regarding hye ri relationship with the 2nd ml. Who would have thought a girl with a face curtained by her hair can be so adorable. That's the beauty of hae sun flawless acting skills. It is also pleasing to notice there are still many drama enthusiasts out there who still appreciate and respect talented actors.

Such a disappointment of a potentially good drama. Was looking forward to the release but within minutes into the drama I was bored to death and fell asleep!! Do not get me wrong here as I respect jung so min as a good actress but here she sadly fails to deliver. No doubt because of her strong fan base and also the strong following of the male lead plus the highly intensive promotion ratings are sure to be deceptively high. Just before it's first release a trailer was put on YouTube that kind of summarised the whole drama. So the real drama has nothing new to entertain the audience. Almost all the highlights have already been revealed excessively that there is no more surprises. The chemistry between the leads are just non existent. Such a mismatch of characters where female is too aggressive and the male lead is just bland. There was not a single moment when you feel moved as you kind of know what to expect. Where is if any the dramas ost? The background music is non coherent with the performance so one fails to be drawn into the scene. As for the comedic angle just don't bother with this as I kept screaming from boredom waiting. Surprisingly when watching romance in the house afterwards the scene with the baseball strike of the shoe just tickled me to bits. Hello this alternative drama does not boast of greatness but could deliver something entertaining. Female lead trying to communicate in English just confused me to no end. Part of being great in your job is the ability to communicate eloquentl with clarity. Sorry sung min not the same actress as Mudeok in AOS.

As usual and to be expected oversaturation of kdramas these days failed to deliver after overwhelming hype desperate to draw us in with the cliche of the wedding of the century. The so called overrated overpayed male lead just was so bland in his acting that his emotional portrayal seemed forced and unnatural. Sad to say he was better in his earlier projects. The female lead is just one dimensional in her narration and her portrayal of a strong bossy wife and head of a well known super store is just not convincing. The chemistry between the two leads is nonexistent and the acting from all is just basic reading the script finish off all the intended episodes and move on to their next project. As always relying on their fan base and their visuals to secure reasonable rating. Fell asleep half way through the second episode as the female lead was a bore. This drama is an insult to those viewers who are seeking releases that they can relate to. Do not try and sell this image of the super rich with helicopters as mode of transport and the female boss with infinite numbers of wardrobe changes and accessories to wow and entice viewers into believing these are the staples they must seek for happiness. To wake my mood up watched some old dramas and boy found them much more entertaining.

Saw the promotion at jtbc insta while desperate to see welcome to samdalri contents. As wts ended having outperformed all the other then new releases, this drama might be a reasonable option to view. Watched all available episodes available on netflix but I am dying of boredom. I never fail to watch all of FL previous dramas and noted like others she tended to play the same role every single time with same ole same ole acting style which is not convincing. Unfortunately she has not improved at all. She appeared so jaded and all her attempts at being funny just missed the mark that I was praying for her to stop as she appeared pathetic. Her so called sad reaction after receiving her mum's text with her so called saddened gesture was so so bad and the predictable cuddly response from ml supposedly got everyone excited but for me it was just appalling acting from both of them. The ml on the other hand was just too childish portraying a supposedly successful doctor and his acting in this drama is so immature and at times over acting and down right cringey. He was much better in soundtrack. Their chemistry is nonexistent to say the least. The leading actors are not helped by the other supporting actors as they all did nothing to move anyone particularly the mum and the hippy uncle who all are just fillers but insignificant. Having worked with hardworking very bright students who also become good doctors their portrayal of these characters are just wrong. FL in previous drama doctors was not that bad then but now she fails miserably to be convincing. All the comedic scenes were predictable and fail to deliver. Saw the bras on the washing line and already knew the outcome. Will still watch the next episode just to justify my negative review.

Watched all four available episodes apprehensively just to see whether the hype is justified. Unfortunately after the first episode which was tolerable the subsequent episodes were a totally appallingly bad. The FL acting was just so bland that not once was I moved or convinced of her so called suffering. There is no chemistry between the two leads probably because of the huge age difference in real life and their acting styles just is not compatible or in sync. The story line is so cliche but very poorly executed by all the casts. Too much of obvious product placement like kopiko, handbags, heels, cosmetics and designer wardrobes as if these superficial staples can offer life changing outcome. FL I am sure is a decent actress but her transformation via ample plastic surgeries has as many observed affected her acting projection of emotions. She has lost so much weight to play the role of a cancer patient but when I witnessed her bony skeletal protrusion when she was wowed wearing the revealing dress just saddened me to no end. Why are we celebrating of the skinny so called beauties when anorexia is now rampant among teenage girls. We just experienced a life threatening situation with a twelve year old who used to follow black pink and it took us a long time to get her to recover. On this note alone I am not going to persuade others to pursue this drama.

This drama was so highly anticipated and thankfully it delivered. Shin hae sun and her team more than delivered. She was in her all encompassing roles of acting versatility and range. The storyline may appear simple and down to earth but the delivery from all the actors made it so intriguing and so captivating. So pleased that year 2023 should close with a drama worth watching. Recently there are too many new releases that unfortunately showcase the actors visuals but failed to convince on their acting skills. Kudos to all members of wts team for such a great drama with genuinely brilliant acting prowess.

Been watching almost all episodes with an open mind. The first five or six episodes were just about tolerable. Unfortunately the plot was too predictable and the acting was painfully lacking that drove away any initial interest. The last time on episode 8 the so called actors appeared to be disinterested in performing and just literally read the script where scenes were fast forward so rapidly as if everyone was getting bored. I am certain the ending is as predicted from the title the perfect marriage revenge, or whatever it is. So boring especially the female lead with her one dimensional expressionless demure. So many random scenes trying to show chemistry between the two leads but failing unconvincingly. Everything appeared forced and sung hoon is so stiff in his acting here. Too boring eventually to continue so abandoned the whole series

Too many new kdrama releases and this by far is the most hyped. As suspected the visuals play a key role in the promotion but I still try and watch the opening episode. Never have I been so disappointed as to abandon the whole drama in an instant. Resorted to watching classic ones like angels last mission maybe for comparative purposes but in general this is by far genuinely good drama with brilliant acting from all the cast especially shin hae sun portrayal of her varying characters from almost hatred person to a more acceptable responsible individual. My demon drama seemed to be built around the looks of song kang and his inability to act. Another min ho unfortunately. I still tried to stay in the next episode only to discover the cast literally script reading with appalling acting. Bad bad bad that I can't and won't elaborate. Over saturation of kdramas these days that quality is being totally compromised. No wonder movies like love reset is so popular because viewers understood genuine acting from actors who are genuinely good. Similarly brave citizen movie is trending that shows there are legitimate viewers who crave for less hype more decent acting skills in korean entertainment production.

I was looking forward to EU bin drama series after her brilliant performance in attorney woo. Unfortunately like suzy in doona EU bins acting was so below average. I did not miss a single episode hoping to see some improvement in subsequent episode but it just got worse. Too much hype as usual for a story that did not intrigue nor excite. The chemistry between the two leads was non existent. The supposedly great reveal of the real ki ho was totally an anti climax of the highest order as we all knew which brother it was. The second male lead probably fared better at being an interesting character. Most annoying character is ranjoo with her overreacting whino behaviour and constant drunkenness that is better to fast forward for much needed sanity. All in all the only thing it is trying to highlight in this drama is EU bins ability to sing. Nobody after supposedly surviving on a deserted island for 15 years would still sacrifice herself for that drunken idol. Sorry this is not one for me.

Rewatched this series for the umpteenth time before netflix remove it from their platform. As expected shin hye sun's performance is so captivating. November 2023 and there is a saturation of korean dramas being released all claiming brilliance but only to disappoint with mediocre acting skills and repetitive plots that so predictable that it is just not worth time invested in watching them. Fortunately there are to date a few actresses that have kept up with involving in challenging plots and delivering high standard performances across a range of genres. The two are jung so min and shin hae sun and they never disappoint.
